Thanks, Thomas! I really enjoyed my stay. Lots of good discussions with great people.

You fully deserve it! Just continue your amazing research at the interface of physical and life sciences. very much looking forward to future breakthroughs coming from your lab! Congrats, Elias!

Congrats, Eva!

Environmental stiffness regulates neuronal maturation via Piezo1-mediated transthyretin activity - Nature Communications How the environment regulates neuronal maturation during brain development is poorly understood. Here, Kreysing et al. identify brain stiffness as a key factor and determine a mechanotransduction path...

Environmental stiffness regulates neuronal
maturation via Piezo1-mediated transthyretin activity.

My main postdoc paper is finally online!

Thanks to all the co-authors, the entire Franze lab and the Káradóttir lab.

Great lab, highly recommended! And, even if I may be a bit biased, also the environment is pretty cool. #mechanobiology @mpi-scienceoflight.bsky.social (MPZPM)

If you're interested in a fully funded PhD position in an amazing lab in the UK working at the interface of life and physical sciences, go for it! Warwick offers a vibrant scientific environment with a strong biophysics community. And Eva is just a great scientist and person!

Thank you Dionn Hargreaves, Sarah Woolner & @dev-journal.bsky.social for highlighting our @sudimukherjee.bsky.social @franzelab.bsky.social preprint! Chuffed to see it engaged with through fresh eyes! 🙌

Interested in how mechanical & chemical signals shape tissue development? Give it a look!

Thanks for picking our preprint and for this very nice prelight article!

In preprints: unpicking chemical and mechanical crosstalk for axonal pathfinding The shaping of developing tissues is often thought of in terms of the chemical gradients that influence tissue morphology, and the mechanical landscape which results in bends, kinks and folds in the t...

Thanks a lot to @dev-journal.bsky.social and the Woolner lab for highlighting our recent preprint investigating how long-range chemical signals are regulated by tissue mechanics. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Excited to announce the Molecular Biology of Archaea (MBoA) 2026!

Join us in Cambridge, UK, from 6–10 July 2026 for the only international meeting dedicated to Archaea.

Thanks, Victor! I really enjoyed our discussions and learned a lot. Great place, thanks a lot for the invite!

Happy to share our new publication in
@naturematerials.bsky.social
on mechanical cell competition! Great collaboration between our CAM team, Chavrier's and Doostmohammadi's. Special congrats

Hyaluronic Acid and Emergent Tissue Mechanics Orchestrate Digit Tip Regeneration Tissue regeneration is a dynamic process requiring coordinated cell fate decisions to restore structure and function. For instance, the tips of human and rodent digits fully regrow after amputation, a...

We are really proud to share the first 'Pre-Print' from the Storer lab driven by the fantastic Byron Mui, and co-lead by the innovative Kevin Chalut, on tissue mechanics, ECM and regeneration. A big thanks also to our collaborators in the Franze Lab.

Hi Jorge. Would you mind adding me, too? Thanks a lot, Kristian

Want to engage with the #mechanobiology community? Why not join this group? Just drop me a DM and I´ll add you.
